So my name is Gerald Simon. I'm a composer, I'm an author, I'm a poet, and I love to create. I have created a company called Music Motivation where I sell music books that I've created. Many of them I've created for piano students and piano teachers who use my books all across the country. I have a series of cool song series I've created of cool, fun piano music, and then essential piano exercises. I have over 44 music books I've come out with. I have four motivation self-help books, two poetry books that I've written. I love coming out with photography and I love creating not just music, instrumental music, but I have several songs where I have lyrics and I'm performing and singing and do a lot of motivational speaking. So I love doing quite a bit.

Hi, I'm Christopher Tin. I'm a composer. I am best known for my choral and orchestral works, including a song called Baba Yetu, which is commonly known as the theme song for the video game Civilization IV. I have been composing since I was 17. I went to school, first to Stanford, studying music and English literature and also art history as a minor. And then afterwards, I got a Fulbright scholarship to go to the Royal College of Music in London to continue my composition training there. And I now live and work in Los Angeles, where I juggle various projects, mostly my album projects, my solo releases, I'm signed to Universal Records, but also scores for film and video games and also concert commissions. So I keep a pretty busy and active life.
